Backlog & Sprint Management

The Backlog screen helps you organize, filter, and plan work items for your project. It split-screens your unassigned work (Backlogs) alongside your active and planned development cycles (Sprints). You can use this screen to prepare issues, group them into sprints, and manage sprint lifecycles.

The screen displays two main sections:

• Backlogs Panel (Left): Lists all unallocated work items, Epics, Stories, Tasks, and Sub-tasks waiting to be prioritized or assigned to a sprint.
• Sprints Panel (Right): Displays current, planned, or completed sprints with issue counts, date ranges, and execution controls.
